2. In a large, enameled cast iron Dutch oven, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Cook the meat in batches, for several minutes on each side until deep golden brown and a crust forms. (This step is only to sear the meat and lock in moisture, not to cook it through.)
3. Remove browned meat to a plate and set aside. Add onion, celery, carrots, and garlic to the pot with the browned bits from cooking the meat. (Add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed.) Saute until onions are translucent and carrots are lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Return the meat to the pot. Sprinkle the flour over the meat and toss around until the flour has coated the meat and vegetables well. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly for 2 minutes until flour is cooked and lightly golden.
